On satellite, the channel was initially only available on the Canal Digital platform. It launched on the Viasat platform in 2005. It was also available on most cable networks in the region. The channel broadcasted between 06:00 and 18:00 and carried audio in four languages: Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Danish.

Jetix received a license to broadcast terrestrially in Sweden in March 2008, but was never able to use it.
